Design, build, and maintain reusable automation test frameworks across UI (Selenium/Cypress/Playwright), API (RestAssured/Postman/Karate), and backend validation. Integrate tests into CI/CD, create containerized test environments, run functional and non-functional tests, support mobile automation, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to define acceptance criteria, conduct reviews, and triage defects.
This is a remote position.
We are seeking a highly skilled QA Fullstack Engineer / SDET / Automation Test Engineer to join our quality engineering team.
Test Automation Development
Develop and maintain robust, modular, and reusable automation test frameworks for: UI testing using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or WebDriverIO; API testing using RestAssured, Karate, or Postman; Backend/data validation with DB queries (SQL/NoSQL). Implement cross-browser and responsive testing strategies. Build and manage test data generation utilities.
Testing Across the Stack
Execute functional, regression, smoke, sanity, integration, and E2E tests. Perform non-functional testing: performance, security, and usability where required. Support mobile automation using Appium or relevant tools (if applicable).
Continuous Integration & Delivery (CI/CD)
Integrate automated test suites with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, CircleCI. Enable shift-left testing by integrating with build and deployment pipelines.
Test Infrastructure & DevOps Collaboration
Design scalable and containerized test environments using Docker. Work with DevOps to manage test execution across test/staging/prod environments. Set up reporting dashboards (Allure, TestNG Reports, etc.).
Collaboration & Agile Practices
Participate in sprint ceremonies: planning, grooming, stand-ups, and retrospectives. Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, DevOps, and designers. Define acceptance criteria and test coverage plans for each feature. Actively engage in code reviews, defect triage, and root cause analysis.
Must-Have Skills & Experience
Programming & Automation: Proficient in at least one language: Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or C#. In-depth knowledge of Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, or Playwright. Advanced API testing with RestAssured, Postman, or Karate DSL. Experience in writing unit tests and mock services where required.
Testing Methodologies & Practices: Strong grasp of testing fundamentals, test design techniques, and QA best practices. Familiar with TDD and BDD. Experience using Cucumber, SpecFlow, or Behave for BDD frameworks.
CI/CD & Version Control: Hands-on with Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions. Comfortable with Git for version control and collaboration.
DevOps & Cloud Awareness: Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes (basic level), and cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or GCP. Ability to debug and trace logs using CloudWatch, ELK, or Splunk.
Analytical & Soft Skills: Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills. Strong written and verbal communication. Collaborative mindset with a "quality-first" attitude.
Good to Have
Mobile testing experience (Android/iOS) using Appium, Espresso, or XCUITest. Exposure to performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling). Security testing knowledge (e.g., OWASP top 10 awareness). Experience working with microservices and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ). Familiarity with contract testing (e.g., Pact).
